Looking forward to a rare #HMHB home fixture on Fri. Last time at the Ritz, we'd reconvened in the Lass O'Gowrie & noticed 1 of our number was missing. After about 30 mins he emerged with signed 12" singles for all 5 of us. No mean feat as they're not a band who hang around the merch stall post-gig.

Looking forward to the return of #HMHB to Manchester this Friday, and also back to the time on a previous visit back in 2007, when they covered The Fall's 'The Container Drivers' (audio only) #TheFall
